Application filed Kay 29, 1908. Serial No. 819.324-

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM SANDERS, a citizen of the United States,residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, haveinvented certainnew and useful Im rovements in Churns; and I do hereby dec are thefollow ing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it 'appertains tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis s ecifieation.

This invention re ates to new and useful improvements in apparatus forholding receptacles adapted to contain liquids or other material to beagitated, and comprises, essentially, a box which is open upon one side,to the ends of which box are connected the inner ends of s rings, one ofwhich is adapted to su port t e box, while the other is designed toreturn the same to its normal position after having been raised by thesupportrug-spring, the outer ends of said springs be- 1 secured to fixedobjects.

he invention consists, further, invarious details of construction andarrangements of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described andthen specifically defined in the appended claim.

I illustrate my invention in nying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is aside elevation of my invention, showing the same in readiness for use;and Fig. 2 1s a. sectional view centrally through the invention.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates a box, which may be of any suitable size or shape, and isprovided with'an open side A, whereby a receptacle B may be placedwithin the box or removed therefrom.. In each end of the accompathe boxis fastened an eye 0, and to the eye in the u per end of the box acoil-spring D is fastene the other end of which is caught over thebracket-arm E, supported from the wall of a building or other object,and a spring D is fastened to the eye at the lower end of the box and isfastened to a bracketarm F, also secured to the wall in the same manneras the up er bracket-arm is fastened. Each of said brac ket-arms issuita'bl braced in order to hold the arms rigid. he two springs D and Dare of different strengths, t e upper spring being stronger than thelower one for the urpose of counterbalancing the weight of t ereceptacle or can which is adapted to be placed within the box and alsoto cause the box, with its receptacle, to be raised up after beingdepressed by an operator pressing upon the box.

In operation the can or rece tacle which holds the cream is placed wit'n the box, and by imparting a downward pressure, by the hand of anoperator, upon the box the latter may be caused to vibrate vertically,thereby thoroughly agitating the cream.

What I claim is- In combination with a box having an open side, an eyesecured to the top and bottom of the box, s rin s of unequal strength,the inner end of eacfi spring secured to one of said eyes and fixedmeans to which the op osite ends of p the springs are fastened, sai boxadapted to receive a receptacle, which is held upon its seat by the toof the rece tacle coming in contact with t e under sur ace of the top ofthe box, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence oftwo witnesses.
